as a group of youths in the early 70s we used to play name that tune, if you dialled 161 from a phone box you got about 10 seconds of a track without putting money in the slot

 

Ha Ha I remember doing this!!! It kept us amused we also

spent ages in the phone box on cold nights phoning the operator and telling her to get off the line theres a train coming!!!

Happy Innocent days
